Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

It is not possible to change the trust of the key i signed.
The gui always displays : Trust: Marginal and the dropdown box is disabled. (as you can see in the screenshot)

the gpg command displayes 2 trust levels:
1. trust:marginal
2. [ full ]

$ gpg --edit-key <email address hidden>

if this is not a bug then it is at least an improvement for seahorse because this is not very user friendly

Strange that nobody else claims about that…
